Construction to extend the westbound U.S. 50 Cave Rock tunnel in Lake Tahoe more than 75 percent complete. NDOT has completed construction of an approximately 60-foot long and 27-foot tall Cave Rock tunnel extension structure on westbound U.S. 50 to enhance safety and reduce the potential of rock fall onto the roadway. This month, sprayable concrete known as shotcrete is being applied to the exterior of the new tunnel and hand-molded to match texture and colors of the surrounding natural rockface. Lighting and white paint is also being added inside the westbound and eastbound tunnel for better visibility and two new radar-activated overhead signs will be installed to automatically notify drivers of bicyclists or potentially icy conditions in the tunnels.

Additionally, stormwater quality improvements will be made from approximately one mile north of Cave Rock at Milepost 8.4 through Milepost 11.4. Improvements include paved shoulders, new drop inlets, new sediment filtration systems, slope scaling, and barrier rail.
